Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to a multiyear contract extension, President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey announced Tuesday.
The extension of the NBA's TV deal with ESPN and Turner Sports in 2014, worth $2.6 billion per year over a nine-year period starting from 2016, gave a huge boost to the salary cap. That rise, given the players-league revenue split as per the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) at that time, subsequently led to a leap in player salaries which led to multiple large contracts being handed out since.
The Toronto Blue Jays will need every ounce of offence they can get because if this club’s going to win enough down the stretch to qualify for the playoffs it’s going to be by outscoring the opposition, not containing them.
